Mortality COVID-19 in Jakarta and the Involvement of the Weather

Weather conditions and the risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been connected in previous studies. The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between weather conditions (temperature, humidity, duration of sunlight, wind speed, and precipitation) and COVID-19 mortality in Jakarta, Indonesia. Using COVID-19 daily death data and ambient temperature data, the spearman rank correlation test was developed to assess the influence of ambient temperature on mortality COVID-19. Station measurements from May to August 2021. At that time, Indonesia experienced the second peak of COVID-19 infections. Temperature (minimum, maximum, and average) showed a negative correlation (p < 0.01). Low temperatures have the potential to be a fatality indicator. When developing policy to control and prevent the transmission of new chains of the coronavirus pandemic in tropical countries, these weather factors may be considered
